Defeat The Commie Mommies!

This blog post
is not an April Fool’s joke. There is currently an internet contest being
sponsored by Circle
of Moms—Top 25 Political Moms. The
website claims it is the “largest and fastest-growing online community for
moms, connecting over 6 million moms worldwide to share advice and support
essential to the journey of motherhood. More than 13% of moms in the US are
members, and we attract 100,000 new moms every week.”

There’s no
prize for the winner, just the satisfaction of being recognized as one of the
Top 25 Political Moms.

I didn’t know
about the contest until I read a post by BigFurHat over at IOwnTheWorld. Since then The Lonely Conservative has been
in second place behind a Lefty site whose owner says [emphasis mine], “I promise that if I win I will faithfully
continue to register our collective dissent against all things unjust and stand
up for the little guy and fight Scott Walker until he's out of office and kiss
the crap out of your babies, and so on. You have my word. Or you can
recall me (after a year). So please vote! There's some unfortunate competition in the contest (scroll down
the list, you'll see what I mean) as well as some other great blogs. My friend
"Hippie Liberal Momma" is a particularly refreshing voice; check her
out. And vote daily for all the ones you like (I hope that includes me). But
choose carefully, as accidentally voting
for the wrong blogs could lead to who only knows what kind of trouble down the
road, including, but not limited to: perpetuation of the stay-at-home-mom-myth,
senseless infighting among women who should otherwise be aligned, unhealthy
exposure to dangerous "family values" hypocrisy, defunding of Planned
Parenthood, dismissal of sexism and racism as 'myths of the left' and
legal mandates that school lunches include the 'Parents' Choice' package (Twinkies, walking tacos, freedom fries and a Bible). So vote
for me if you oppose any of that and I'll do my best to fight it.”

The
Lonely Conservative writes, “The top bloggers from the left aren’t your
mom’s Democrats. They’re radical progressives. The one in the lead describes
herself as ‘Leftist. Very, very leftist’ and has made it her mission to see
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker defeated. I’m sure she has no problem with
the vicious way
her side has treated Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefish. The website running
the contest says they have millions of followers. Do you really want that 'very, very leftist' winning and sending the message to millions of moms that
her views are mainstream? Don’t you want to do something, no matter how small,
to show that there is no conservative war on women?”

At 4:35PM
today, The Lonely Conservative trailed the Lefty site 2292 to 2110. Checking back at 6:03PM, the vote tally was
2314 for the Lefty and 2159 for TLC—more than double the number of votes for
TLC in an hour-and-a-half. Awesome.

Voting ends April 4 at 7PM Eastern. You
can vote
once every 24 hours. If you have access
to multiple computers, vote
from those as well. It seems that’s how
that Lefty site manages to stay ahead of Lonely.

Thanks for your vote.

UPDATE:
9:36PM 4/1/12—You all have propelled The Lonely Conservative to the
top of the list. She leads the Lefty
2413 to 2391. Keep those votes coming.

UPDATE:
2:00AM 4/2/12—A quick check shows that in the last few hours the
Lefty site has retaken the lead over The Lonely Conservative by 61 votes. Let’s redouble our efforts and help TLC win.

UPDATE:
4:23PM 4/3/12—When I voted a few minutes ago, Karen was leading the
Lefty by 300 votes. Let’s keep pouring
on the votes. Defeat those commie
mommies! Voting
ends on April 4 at 7:00PM Eastern.

Please scribble on my walls otherwise how will I know what you think, but please don’t try spamming me or you’ll earn a quick trip to the spam filter where you will remain—cold, frightened and all alone.
